Elevated view of early stages of construction of the Dental Clinic.

Bio/Historical Note: Although classes began in 1968, construction for a building did not begin until 1978. This lack of appropriate accommodation in part meant that of 90 applicants for the College of Dentistry’s first class, only 10 students could be accepted. Research space was provided through the Cancer Institute; offices and a seminar room, through Ellis Hall; and space for Dentistry was planned for the proposed additions to the Medical College Building and University Hospital. A general economic slowdown in the provincial economy delayed construction of a building, and subsequently decreased the number of students accepted into the program. By 1973 the college was located within the Health Sciences Building, and were hoping for “construction of permanent clinic facilities adjacent to the Health Sciences Building, with a firm target date of 1977.” The Dental Clinic Building, designed by Holliday-Scott, Paine, was completed at a cost of $4 million; students and faculty moved in in January 1979. The maximum number of students for the College – 25 – were admitted for the first time for the 1979-80 winter term. Enveloped by the new Health Sciences E-Wing since 2013, the Dental Clinic retains its original design sensibilities.

Bio/Historical Note: Henry Llewellyn (Harry) Fowler was born in 1895 in Prince Edward Island into a family that moved to Alberta while he was in his teens. After an education that led him to the threshold of a career in teaching, Fowler turned instead to banking, from which he departed in 1922 to enter a farm implement and oil agency in Wilcox, Saskatchewan. The depression of the thirties inevitably turned the attention of farmers to reducing costs by cooperative efforts and Harry Fowler, almost equally inevitably, became the manager of an oil distribution co-op at Wilcox. Fowler became linked to the development of the co-operative movement in Saskatchewan. He played a role in organizing the world’s first cooperative oil refinery; it came into production in 1935, and remains the only refinery of any size owned entirely by Canadians. In addition Fowler was active in the organization of fourteen more co-ops, one of the original incorporators of eleven, a director of sixteen, president of eleven, and manager of five. The co-ops that have felt his influence have included several of the largest in the province, and his co-op career culminated in his election as president of Federated Co-operatives Limited, from which post he retired in 1963. Fowler served on the Board of Governors of the University of Saskatchewan from 1963-1964. From 1952-1956 he was a member of the Royal Commission on Agriculture and Rural Life. Harry Fowler died in 1980 in Abbottsford, British Columbia, at age 85.

Bio/Historical Note: Jacob Michael Goldenberg was born in 1900 in Bukowina, now part of Romania. He came to Canada in 1913 and received his law degree with distinction from the University of Saskatchewan in 1922. He articled for three years, and in 1925 was admitted to the Law Society of Saskatchewan. He was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1937. Goldenberg was a lecturer in the College of Law for many years. president of the Saskatoon Bar Association, president of the Law Society of Saskatchewan, president of the Conference of Governing Bodies of the Legal Profession in Canada, and president of the Law Alumni Association. Goldenberg was instrumental in establishing the Bar Admission Course at the University, and he helped to establish the Moxon Scholarship to support graduate work in Law. In his early years as a counsel he often acted for the politically unpopular client when others were not inclined to be so generous. Many of his suggestions to government are now part of the statutes of Saskatchewan. Goldenberg was writing articles for the Western Producer and the National Farmers Union on "Farmers and the Law". Goldenberg retired from the practice of Law in 1986. He died in 1989 in Vancouver at age 89. Goldenberg was the father of Tillie Taylor (1922-2011), and Irving Goldenberg (b. 1930), both prominent Saskatoon judges.
